For my own I'm using the open source solution : FacesIDE & facesConsole
and waiting for a release of the Eclipse WTP. But if you can pay for a
plugin, choose the MyEclipse one, more stable and more powerfull than
Exadel Studio (In my opinion).
Exadel has the better html/jsp/jsf/struts editing (for now, the new
myeclipse m3 preview looks promising in this area but probably will not
go as far as Exadel drag and dropping wise) but has more critical bugs
(although the 3.0.3 final got rid of most of them), the prices of either
one is pretty much the same
(have in mind that Exadel costs initially more, but you keep the last
version as soon as you opt out of the subscription service while in
MyEclipse you basically have nothing afterwards as soon as you opt out,
so you definitely get more value as soon as you choose not to upgrade
anymore and the subscription payment is somewhat smaller)
I think both are good at what they try to do, while myeclipse lacks
severely in the JSF departement and the drag and drop stuff from exadel
is really a timesaver, while myeclipse is better in many other areas.
(DB Browsing for instance, while the Hibernate support is inferior)
Unfortunately both tools cannot be combined under one Eclipse instance,
if the functionality of both could be combined a killer plugin would be
the result.
